1 Boca Ciega High School Fall 2016 Spring 2017 Ms. Snider Room Welcome Welcome to AP US Government and Politics! In this class, I will be a both instructor and facilitator who will ask you hard questions, prompt your own questions, and point you towards answers. It s going to be enlightening collaborating with you as we attempt to understand the ideas, principles, concepts and complex and often volatile nature of the U.S. government and politics. Instructional Philosophy In this course, we will use a variety of instructional methods, including lecture, multi-media, student presentations, peer review, collaborative group work, project-based learning activities, and group discussions. I firmly believe that education can and should be individualized, especially in Social Studies. In this course we will utilize traditional methods of instruction, but we will also utilize each student s interests and abilities pertaining to the subject matter to create a more relevant learning experience. My role is to make learning available for you, but you must take responsibility for your own success. Goals and Purpose This year we will not just learn politics, we will also do politics. As Goethe said, Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world. I hope that by mixing theory, facts, relevant contemporary issues, and opportunities to act on your knowledge, you will have the tools necessary to become political. So sit back, relax, and get political! Essentials for Course Success Participate: By coming to class daily, participating actively in discussions and group activities, you WILL learn. Come Prepared: The most important part of success is being prepared and organized. Having the appropriate materials for class every day will build confidence in your ability to succeed. Civility and Respect for Learning: Please be on time coming in late is disruptive to both me and your fellow students. Class is over when I am finished. Please don't close your notebook, zip up your backpack, etc., until we are completely finished. Please turn off/silence, and put away all cell phones and portable electronic devices (and take ear buds out of your ears), before class begins. Critical Questions and Skills A number of critical questions guide this course. We won t answer all of our questions, but our engagement of the questions will lead us to knowledge and insight. Here are some examples of the critical questions that will direct our inquiry: How democratic is the United States? What are the central American political values? How do we reconcile liberty and security in this age of global terror? Who does our political system represent? Are our civil rights and liberties eroding?
2 After you ve completed this course, you will be able to: Carry on a cogent political conversation Understand important contemporary political trends Have a critical comprehension of the media Know how to effectively interact with your government Interpret political charts and data Know your legal rights and responsibilities Textbook Wilson, Diliulio. American Government Institutions and Policies, 12th edition. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, Woll, Peter. American Government: Readings and Cases, 19th ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson, United States Government and Politics, Wolford, David. Des Moines, Iowa: AMSCO Publications, 2015 Supplies Each student will need the following items to be prepared for success in this course: Binder with two tabs and sections dedicated for AP Govt. (School mandate) Composition Notebook (Journaling) 1- pencil pouch or case Pens (blue or black) Colored pens- (any color other than blue or black for correcting or editing) Fine tip markers or colored pencils Loose-leaf paper Notebook Dividers (5) o Readings and Reading Notes o Class Notes o Class Assignments o Homework o Projects School Rules School board rules such as no electronics in the class (OFF and OUT of SIGHT), the no tolerance tardy policy, the district dress code, and safe school policies will be strictly enforced. Classroom Rules Be in your seat, prepared with the proper tools, and ready to work when the bell rings. Treat your colleagues, teachers, and their personal property with respect. Communicate in positive ways- foul language or insults will not be allowed. Come each day committed to giving your best. Work together as a team so everyone succeeds. Open your mind before you open your mouth; consider other people s views, actually listen. Classroom Policies and Procedures A. Materials All students are expected to bring their textbooks, binders, notebook paper, and pencil or pen to class each day unless otherwise instructed.
3 B. Make-up Work and Attendance 1. Students are expected to attend class each day. 2. Excessive absences will make student success very difficult. Excessive unexcused absences (4 or more) will result in points deducted from your class participation grade. 3. It is your responsibility to obtain the work that you missed on the day that you return. You have the number of days equal to the number of days absent to turn in the work. Any work assigned prior to your absence is due on the date you return. 4. Please make arrangements with classmates to get any notes/information you may have missed. C. Tardiness: 1. It is extremely important to be in class on time. 2. After the first tardy and for each tardy afterwards, there will be a 2 point reduction in your participation grade. 3. Two tardies will result in a call home. D. Assignments 1. Homework is due at the beginning of class so please do not plan on finishing it in class. 2. Homework should be placed in the assigned class inbox at the beginning of class unless otherwise instructed. (Even if I do not ask for the homework, it is your responsibility to make sure it is turned in.) 3. LATE ASSIGNMENTS (excluding absences) WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. 4. Students should take pride in all assignments. Assignments are graded for quality, not just completion. Work should be completed in blue or black ink or pencil based on the assignment. I will not read assignments written in red, purple, pink, green, or other colored inks. 5. Some essays and select assignments must be typed in 11 or 12 point font. E. Class Calendar 1. Tests will be given at the end of each chapter/unit. Projects will be assigned throughout that time period and will be used as part of chapter/unit assessment. A course calendar will be created and provided as more detailed time and pacing is determined. Assignments Throughout the semester there will be announced and unannounced quizzes. Quizzes may be short answer, completion, matching, and multiple choice. We will also have unit tests consisting of a free response question (essay), and multiple choice questions. Tests will assess topics covered in class, during discussion, and from required independent readings. Tests will be both timed and untimed. You can also expect a few practice AP exams. ******Our AP exam will be on May 4 th ***********. Projects We will have several projects throughout the semester. Some will require only a couple of days, some may require several days. For some projects you will be expected to interview other people such as family and friends. Most projects will require you to use the internet and other media sources. When individual projects are assigned, I expect that you complete them on your own. When group projects are assigned, groups will be responsible for dividing responsibilities, monitoring team progress, and turning in the final product by the deadline. All team members will receive the same grade for the final product.
4 Individual Assignments You will complete a number of individual assignments throughout the year. These assignments will include, but not be limited to, reading assignments, preparation for discussion, journal reviews, homework assignments, presentations, and projects. All work is to be completed individually unless stated otherwise. All student work must comply with the Pinellas County Schools plagiarism policy and must be completed on time. If you use sources, cite them properly! Use standard formatting for typed papers! We will be using Turnitin.com for the process to turn in essays. Journal Reviews A critical media consciousness is a crucial aspect of enlightened citizenship. Each week, you will write a journal review connecting class topics to current events. There are a number of excellent free online resources for you to review. I will provide a list of some acceptable resources; others may be considered. I ll also give you some small tasks to complete individually for class. You will keep your work in a portfolio/folder which I will collect. Use standard formatting for typed papers! (i.e. size 12 font, double spaced, proper heading, and proper citations) Personal Glossary As part of the AP Binder, you will be expected to maintain a personal glossary of terms related to AP Government and Politics. Part of this glossary will be vocabulary for each chapter. You should expect vocabulary tests for each chapter requiring you to briefly define the word, and then explain its significance and/or give examples. Grading Grades are calculated each six weeks using a point system. A sample of points and assignments may be found below: Homework (10%) Classwork, Projects, Assignments (15%) Reading Quizzes (10%) Tests (30%) Essays (20%) Binders (15%) Final grades are calculated using Pinellas County requirements: % (A), 80-89% (B), 70-79% (C), 60-69% (D), below 60% (F). For example, a student earning % of all available points for a grading period will earn an A for that grading period. Again, the AP US Government and Politics Exam will take place on May 4 th. Unit Goals/Objectives In AP US Government and Politics course we will attempt to understand the American political system by focusing on five main units of study: The American System; Opinion, Interest, and Organization; Institutions of Government; The Politics of Public Policy; Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
